Sinopsis

USA TODAY BESTSELLER • Sparks fly between a misunderstood New York socialite and a cynical divorce lawyer in this lively standalone rom-com from the author of Blurred Lines and Love Story.

Pampered heiress Georgianna Watkins has a party-girl image to maintain, but all the shopping and clubbing is starting to feel a little bit hollow—and a whole lot lonely. Though Georgie would never admit it, the highlights of her week are the mornings when she comes home at the same time as her uptight, workaholic neighbor is leaving to hit the gym and put in a long day at the office. Teasing him is the most fun Georgie’s had in years—and the fuel for all her naughtiest daydreams.

Celebrity divorce attorney Andrew Mulroney doesn’t have much time for women, especially spoiled tabloid princesses who spend more time on Page Six than at an actual job. Although Georgie’s drop-dead gorgeous, she’s also everything Andrew resents: the type of girl who inherited her penthouse instead of earning it. But after Andrew caps one of their predawn sparring sessions with a surprise kiss—a kiss that’s caught on camera—all of Manhattan is gossiping about whether they’re a real couple. And nobody’s more surprised than Andrew to find that the answer just might be yes.

Praise for Walk of Shame

“Walk of Shame is everything we have grown to love about Lauren Layne. It’s fast-paced, the characters are layered, and the chemistry always smolders.”—Heroes and Heartbreakers

Fantastic

Classic Lauren Layne and I LOVED it!! Full of snark, humor, and sexy times, this opposites attract story had me laughing out loud and kept me completely entertained. Georgie and Andrew were great characters and I enjoyed the slow build of their relationship. She's a party girl and loved by everyone. He's serious, stoic and doesn't let too many people get close. Teasing Andrew and trying to get him to smile is the highlight of Georgie's day. Andrew won't deny he's attracted to Georgianna but she's everything he hates about the pampered wealthy. Then one surprise kiss changes everything!!
This is a must read. I highly recommend it.

Walk of Shame

Loved this book! The characters were perfect. Thought Georgie was hilarious. Wondered why her chapters were written in the 1st person and Andrews weren't tho.

Really crazy good

Character development was so good. I liked both Georgie and Andrew and their anti chemistry. Kept my interest and I liked the story message.

3.5 stars- Low on the angst, high on the cuteness

Walk of Shame is an enemies to lovers story involving two neighbors who are polar opposites. I’m a big fan of this author, so I was a bit bummed when I found myself reluctant to pick this back up. All the ingredients of a great romantic comedy are here, but the heroine isn’t my cup of tea and I couldn’t get into it. However, I’ll freely admit that this may more be a case of not being in the mood for such a breezy romance rather than a true reflection of the book’s substance.
Andrew is a well-known divorce lawyer. I found his awkwardness often endearing, and overall he was a likeable character. Georgie is a New York socialite, who spends her days planning charity events, shopping, and hanging with friends. Her bright, bubbly character is the perfect contrast to Andrew’s subdued personality, but she never clicked with me and I had a really hard time sympathizing with her personal dilemmas. Typically with this author, I find myself drawn to the characters even if I don’t personally identify with them. Unfortunately, that never happened with Georgie and while she isn’t unlikable, it made it very difficult to fall in love with their story. Walk of Shame does use a different narration style than what I typically see. It includes alternating points of view, with Georgie’s told in the first person and Andrew’s in the third. The bulk of the book is from Georgie’s POV and while her happy, friendly, relaxed voice makes for an easy read, it dominates the story to the point that she becomes overwhelming for me. Again, this may be a case of the not in the right frame of mind for that type of character, but it was simply too much bubbliness and blue blood drama. That said, Andrew and Georgie have a great energy between them even before they move from frenemies to more. The verbal sparring and banter sets a quick but easy flow and keeps Walk of Shame fun and light-hearted. The chemistry comes across clearly, steadily growing throughout the story and translating into a good amount of physical heat between the two. I love how the author includes some fun, bright quips before, during, and after the sex scenes. These moments had me laughing out loud and really showcased the breezy dynamic of their relationship.
Typically, this author is my go-to when I’m in the need of a pick-me-up as I tend to read her books cover to cover with a smile permanently etched on my face. While the banter and fun atmosphere that I crave is undeniably present, the characters and story felt lacking in depth. It was almost like a muted version of what I’ve come to expect from Miss Layne. However, I do think fans of enemies-to-lovers stories looking for a low-angst, banter-filled cute romance to brighten their day/weekend will likely enjoy this one.

Walk of Shame by Lauren Layne

Signs with content and happiness. This book just melted my heart. It was such a fun, light hearted, witty and sexy book to read. You know that feeling you got when you were in high school and the boy you were crushing on caught you looking at him or you caught him looking at you, and your stomach does a little excited flip, all of a sudden there's a billion butterflies in your tummy flapping around... every step of the way this book gave me all those feelings. Each time Georgie and Andrew had their easy banter, or would touch each other I would get the butterflies along with them. As always, Lauren Layne did a fantastic job writing this book.
